Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced that Antiguans and Barbudans will go to the polls on January 18, 2023.
Speaking at the launch of his party’s candidates, the Prime Minister spoke about his administration’s achievements to include housing, education, healthcare, technology and tourism.
On December 20th, Governor General Sir. Rodney Williams will issue the Writ of Elections. December 28 will be the nomination of candidates to contest the elections on January 18, 2023.
Prime Minster called on the electorate to ensure that the competent Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party team is returned to office. Referring to the Opposition UPP, “Do not risk the governance of this country to a team of incompetent persons,” Prime Minister Browne said.
“You are the wind behind our sails. We ask you to continue to support us. We will continue to give you the respect that you deserve as we work for your development and as we take this nation to the next level of development the country deserves,” Prime Minister Browne said.
The last general election in Antigua and Barbuda was held in March 2018.
Mr Damage Skerrit brought Clear Harbour to Dominica,more than 1,000 Dominicans are employed.He invented the NEP there are more than 3,500 employed.Skerrit is giving 2,700 senior citizens $300 monthly.He has employed more than 100 in the Yes we care programme.Skerrit has employed more police,more teachers,more firemen and more nurses.More than 5,000 are living in $250,000,$300,000 and $400,000 houses and apartments FREE.The money these people had to pay rent is now going into their pockets.Hundreds of parents are financially better off because of the school bus service.$2.5 million was given to DCP to reopen a number of people are employed there.Do the maths Brain damage.Not only that he has increased minimum wage by 90%.
The stupidity of certain individuals is that they continue to describe a handful of losers as the people.Majority vote is dictatorship,minority vote is democracy for some overeducated idiots.
Our work is a very sad place – I’m now realizing how hungry and desperate we’ve become. There should be a world wide food distribution instead of needy people with no dignity have to rely on a political ruling party to sustain them. This is the new world phenomenon. We are trapped. I say “we” because when one suffers we all feel it. There can only be one solution to this madness. Only one. And that is a mass revolution. A sustained revolution. The single hindrance to this revolution is that, people are not willing to sacrifice. Go read books about the liberations of different races of peoples and you will understand what it takes to effect political, governmental and systematical change. We are howling like wolves but we are not ready yet. A Chinese man stopped a Tank in its tracks in one of China’s Revolution. Caribbean people are lazy and don’t mind being enslaved for a few dollars and a handshake. Slime people with no ambition whatsoever.
Another wannabe Caribbean dictator who would prefer being greeted with the salute; Heil Gaston!
But like I always say, hard prison time is in all wannabe Caribbean dictators future because the people can only take so much for so long.
Bwa-Banday, Shut your gas – gob you workers followers from HELL do not know the meaning of the word Dictator, get back to school take Ibo, and lots more maybe one day you all will grow up, having said that bad roots never
produce any good fruits.
UWP is like the Westindies cricket team.They take pleasure in losing.SHAMELESS
.
At least the West Indies score some runs and sometimes take wickets when they lose but UWP always get out for duck and takes no wickets. This election they didn’t even show up to play. Bunch of loud talking cowards. They will continue doing their walks with Athie and Handbags but the only direction they will be walking is to and from the pavilion for more ducks for the next five years or more.
Are these leaders in the Caribbean taking advice from their Chinese handlers on how to stay in power against the will of the people? First Mia then Roosevelt and now Gaston. Like it has been said, prime ministers in the Caribbean have too much power. It’s time to change the election laws and set fixed elections dates.
Poly Sye, did you say “against the will of the people”? How did you arrive at that foolish idea?
If they were “staying in power against the will of the people” what would be their need to call a “general election” and who votes them in at those elections if it is not “the people”?
The Government is the people’s employee (servant by God’s Will) not their employer.
And the people have the power to dismiss them, (again by God’s Will) when they are not doing their job accordingly, they have no will against the people; when God says no way!
Get that into that naïve mind of yours.
UPP should do like UWP (Dominica) boycott the election.Aftet start talking BS for 5 years.
True Clown, that’s why hundreds of Dominicans flock the shores of Antigua for employment because King Liar Skerrit fails to employ them here…
Grabston Browne, along with his grabberment, has done absolutely nothing to deserve re-election. Ask yourselves this question. Am I better off now than before Grabston and his cabal took up residence on the government benches in parliament?
Can someone name for me any leader in the world whose mouth is as filthy and vile as this cartoonish-looking character?
This is the age of enlightenment and modernity. Imagine this. The inmates/ patients at the lone psychiatric institution have latrine pits/ bore holes built for them in very recent times. The prisoners still defecate and urinate in buckets. Leadership is absent.
I return to a previous question. What has the current administration done to deservedly be returned to five more years in government?
January 18, 2023 is Freedom Day for Antigua & Barbuda. The last nine (9) years of Gaston Browne and his cronies have the country under austere conditions
*late and no payments for pensioners
*mandatory vaccination
*no stimulus for the multiply hundreds of citizens who lost jobs during the pandemic
*rubber bullets and teargas for peaceful protesters
*starvation wages
*bad roads
*no running water for weeks at a time
“fuel prices abnormally high during Gastonia entire tenure
*fuel shortage
The list of dubious achievements is inexhaustible. Even the low hanging fruits this administration could not solve – patching the pothole diseased roads, keeping the communities clean, collection of the garbage, et cetera.
The Antigua – Barbuda electorate has no other choice but to kick the Brown paper bag and his cabal to the curb.
